Article Synopsis –  Researchers have discovered water stuck in a glacier in Greenland, which would mean that some of the surface meltwater gets stored inside the glaciers. This could help scientists give more accurate sea level rise predictions. According to coauthor Dustin Schroeder, “Knowing that some liquid is intercepted within glaciers after melting on the surface may help scientists more accurately predict oceanic changes and help people prepare for the future.” To read the actual article click here.
